What is Dry Brushing for Skin? Why do it?

'I’ve mentioned dry brushing before and it seems like the ancient practice is gaining modern popularity. I’ve even noticed “dry brushing” as an offering on the menu at spas in hotels I stayed at recently.So what is it and why should you consider doing it?

Dry brushing is exactly what it sounds like… brushing the skin in a particular pattern with a dry brush, usually before showering.

In dry brushing, the skin is typically brushed toward the heart, starting at the feet and hands and brushing toward the chest.'
